Reef off the New Jersey coast
Logged under the cryptic DEP label 'Mus R.?.', this 1,190-acre ground sits 10.1 nautical miles south-southeast of Great Egg Inlet. Whatever the name once meant, the bottom is straightforward: sea bass and tautog on the firm sections, fluke and weakfish across the open ground in summer.
The surrounding area is characterized with sandy material as a bottom type.
